Re: What kind of trees/shurbs can a horse eat?

Hello Matt,

Manzanita is the Arctostaphylos species and this is not listed as a toxic plant according to Cornell University. I was not able to find the species for red shrubs.

Your best source for toxic plants would be your county extension agency.

All the best,
